Is Max too short?

jyoung01jyoung01 member

I like the name Max, but I'm wondering if it feels incomplete?  Maximilian doesn't work with our last name and Maximus feels too Roman (we have a very Irish last name).  I could maybe go with Maxen--behindthename says it's the Welsh form.  However, that feels a little "trying to hard."

What do you all think?  Any suggestions?

    Maxwell?

    Max it short, but it's not bad.

    ETA I do not like Maxen.

    It's not too short if you like short names.

    I know a Massimo that goes by Max, but that probably wouldn't work with your LN either.  I do also know a Max that's just a Max and it's fine.

    I don't really think Max is too short. My son is Maximus....but goes by Max 99% of the time. But I like that he has a more formal option for his degrees and wedding invitation!

    I like Max. I think it is fine on its own.

    If you like Max and nothing else is working, then go for it!  There's no rule that names have to be more than three letters.  Don't pick something that you don't like!

    Maxim is another option that is longer but not to overpowering.
